For some veterans, pain is just a part of life.Their aches and discomfort often stem from war-related injuries or intense combat training. Many are searching for relief outside the doctor's office and away from medication. For some, massage therapy offers the comfort they’re seeking. “I hadn't had anybody put their hands on me, on your back, in areas that you're not touched, that aren't your forearms or your hands," said veteran Jeremy Stone.Jeremy’s been living with neck and back pain for more than 20 years. “I’ve had constant pain since 1997," he said. Jeremy places a lot of trust in massage therapist Dan Hanneman, who’s also a veteran. With Dan’s help, he’s been able to cut back on prescription pain pills and muscle relaxers. “Some of these veterans have seen combat and have had strong experiences," said Dan. Dan helps around 50 veterans through massage therapy. He hopes to inspire them to lead healthier lives.“I’ve seen people sort of change their lifestyle more toward health, since they're able to do more and take better care of themselves," Dan said.
